Standard IQualified anesthesia personnel shall be present in the room throughout the conduct of all general anesthetics, regional anesthetics and monitored anesthesia care.(Approved by the ASA House of Delegates on Oct. 15, 2003)

Objective ;To ensure adequate O2 concentration in the inspired gas and the blood during all anesthetics

Methods ;

- Inspired gas : During every administration of general anesthesia using an anesthesia machine, theconcentration of O2 in the breathing system shall be measured by an O2 analyzer with a low O2concentration limit alarm in use.(Approved by the ASA House of Delegates on Oct. 15, 2003)

Objective ;To ensure adequate O2 concentration in the inspired gas and the blood during all anesthetics

Methods ;

- Blood oxygenation : During all anesthetics, a quantitative method of assessing oxygenation such as pulse oximetry shall be employed. Adequate illumination and exposure of the patient are necessary to assess color.(Approved by the ASA House of Delegates on Oct. 15, 2003)
